Democrats need to wise up!

We don’t want to be like the Tea Party with our far left purity contests.

We need to be asking people how they felt about their taxes they are paying.

We need to be asking people how they have liked having their kids on their insurance plans until age 26.

We need to be asking people how they liked not having to worry about preexisting conditions.

We need to be asking people how they have liked being protected from predatory lenders and predatory business scams.

Then we need to instill in the person’s we are conversing with a sense of urgency because those things are on the table for 2021! We also need to tell them that we can only protect those things and have more middle class legislation by voting for Dems in primaries and general elections.

What we need to stop: freaking talking about socialist things. Socialism translates with “boogeyman” to independents. The right has won the framing of ALL socialist arguments. We have failed to frame that conversation. So stop freaking scaring people. Even people who don’t like Trump would vote for him or stay home rather than someone they equate with socialism.

I think Cohen is asking for a pardon

Found a hard drive my ass! He’s sending a message to Trump that he has proof of the worst and he’s gonna spill it if he doesn’t get that pardon!

Barr's Next move: recommend pardons!

I have a feeling Barr didn’t allow Mueller to complete his investigation and threatened to recommend pardons, thus sabotaging the entire thing. Republicans play dirty and we should not put it past him! His next move could still be to recommend pardons. Shutting the whole thing down. If Dems continue to push for the report it will be a moot point.
